Before we try to explain THE FDH LOUNGE to you, first check out our three-minute history and then our ten-minute history.

THE FDH LOUNGE has brought back the Great American Radio Show, albeit to Internet television. Having spun off of our sister division FantasyDrafthelp.com (which has coverage of football, baseball, hoops, hockey, NASCAR and niche sports) with Episode #1 on January 14, 2007 and now broadcasting through our friends at Sportsology and on our blog and YouTube channel after a successful run on the former SportsTalkNetwork.com (which included a daily two-hour best-of program entitled THE FDH LOUNGE VAULT), THE FDH LOUNGE branches beyond the traditional FDH Enterprises, LLC-produced programming of fantasy sports and general sports content. It also encompass pop culture, politics, geopolitics, ‘rasslin’, general news and whatever else the Dignitaries of THE FDH LOUNGE deem worthy of their focus. The LOUNGE prides itself on smart and entertaining roundtable discussion and conversations on more subjects than any other program anywhere would dare to tackle. Truly, THE FDH LOUNGE is the one program for which the slogan “nothing is off-topic” applies. In the box underneath, you can check the content of every one of THE FDH LOUNGE programs.

The program celebrated its landmark 150th episode on June 7, 2011 and its 500th hour of programming with an appearance by rock legend Steve Perry on November 4, 2011.
